ext4: allow readdir()'s of large empty directories to be interrupted
If a directory has a large number of empty blocks, iterating over all of them can take a long time, leading to scheduler warnings and users getting irritated when they can't kill a process in the middle of one of these long-running readdir operations. Fix this by adding checks to ext4_readdir() and ext4_htree_fill_tree(). Reported-by: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> Google-Bug-Id: 27880676 Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
